Don't Pray
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
I die for your sin
Life is simple, life is sweet
The perspective from down on your knees will kill you from within
Fortune and fame, torture and shame
Think twice before you speak
Glory and blame, it's all the same
My game is your defeat
(Chorus):Don't pray for me
I don't need your sympathy
I don't want your god protecting me
Don't pray for me
I don't want your empathy
I don't need your savior saving me
Don't pray for me
I don't care what book you quote
Your poison is my ANTIDOTE
I don't burn and I don't bleed
Wrap that guilt up deep inside
Religion has an alibi
What more could you need
Fortune and fame, torture and shame
You still don't understand
Glory and blame, it's all the same
Some things go hand in hand
(Chorus):Don't pray for me
I don't need your sympathy
I don't want your god protecting me
Don't pray for me
I don't want your empathy
I don't need your savior saving me
Don't pray for me
Sacrifice the innocence
Will you illiminate the decadance
You celebrate the enemy
We'll BLIND YOUR EYES AND STEAL YOUR DREAMS
(Chorus):Don't pray for me
I don't need your sympathy
I don't want your god protecting me
Don't pray for me
I don't want your empathy
I don't need your savior saving me
Don't pray for me
Don't Pray
Don't Pray stands as a stark example of Marilyn Manson's ability to blend industrial rock with theatrical horror. The track captures the artist's signature aesthetic, merging distorted instrumentation with a vocal delivery that oscillates between vulnerability and aggression. While the song exists within a broader catalogue of experimental rock, it reflects the darker, more introspective moments found in Manson's work. The recording showcases the production techniques that defined his early career, utilizing heavy reverb and layered textures to create an immersive atmosphere. This piece contributes to the artist's legacy of challenging conventional pop structures, offering listeners a glimpse into the chaotic emotional landscape that characterizes his musical identity.
